“Though many of us did not know these two brave men personally, they died protecting the lives and property of
people in our home city,” said Robert D’Amore, Senior Executive Vice President, Retail and Small Business
Banking. “Though contributions will not bring back these valiant men, they may help defer educational costs
and other needs of the families they leave behind. Our thoughts and prayers are with these families, with
the Bridgeport Fire Department and with all state residents who mourn this tragic loss.”
